Riven is gonna be A problem during patch 5.16!

Phuc Dat Bich·Aug 9, 2015·9 votes·2,711 views

All of her natural counters are being nerfed (Their early game/trade/kit)

Armor is getting nerfed!!

New items that work for her very good are going to be added to the game!!

Riot Really need to do something about riven BEFORE patch 5.16 i am sick of having a champion that it was obvious that it would become broken sit again at 100% ban ratio because once again riot fail to see the obvious!!

Riven would need nerfs or the top lane would be ether maokai/gnar or riven!!

I guess this is where we going in top lane right now? this is what riot try to to force?

Because if Riven remain without nerfs yeah 5.16 would be toxic as f@ck

Garen will quite honestly be stronger than ever against her. He gets an early game armor boost so he can either safely rush damage or become the tankiest thing Riven has faced in a long time. On top of this his damage scales better with items.

Riven will be kept in check.

top lane is all about lvl 2 or lvl 4 and at this lvl garen/darius/renekton/etc was able to win RIVEN now they all lost their early game power for late gamer power so riven would be stronger against them so that leaves no counter for riven except maokai/gnar who pretty much only get counter by vlad...

So yeah top lane going downhill i dont want to play the future teller here but you see the warnings

Darius and garen were never played anyway lol, nothing is going to change. Riven is still going to get countered by 90% toplaners. Garen was never a Riven counter anyway, maybe only in bronze.

Champions that counter Riven:

Irelia=Skill match up Who gets the stun first Cho=Already have a post of him Ahri=Ahri top? since when? plus riven can easily destroy Ahri Fizz=Really? Riven outdamage fizz BY FAR Heim=What is this bronze? Hecarim=Farm fest who do his TP bot lane better.... Gnar=I already say about him GP=I dont know him after the rework i have try him a lot Fiora=Her early game is so bad atm its not even fun unless you are 24/0/24 you aint do nothing.... Kennen=Kennen? really? loooool....since when? unless riven is dumb enough to go try AA kennen would always lose simple by pressing E-W-Q-Q-Q back or the opposite as riven of that combo and kennen is done... Lulu=i dont know Maokai=I already say about him Malp=Losing the early game hard because of his mana issues while riven can easily E his Q or E damage and poke him with his manaless spam...so the lvl2-3 all in from riven with ignite mean first blood for riven... Liss=She got so many nerfs its not even funny Morde=He gets a rework his solo lane sucks now Olaf=After 20 so useless a minion would be better for your team Nasus=? really? since when nasus is counter to riven? you pick riven to destroy nasus are you drunk? Naut?=Really? you say naut? ok this is getting hiliarious atm PANTHEON?=After 6 pantheon is just a siting 300 gold for riven..unless is a bronze Riven who try to all in pantheon early lvl and not just outsustain his harass with her free E shield. to block his Q Quinn?=Any adc win a melee range but in solo Q game when someone sends an adc top its like saying "Hey look at me jungler i am 300g waiting to die" so yeah riven win that too Singed=WHo even play him any more...Plus riven deals way more damage than singed...are you even serious? unless you talking for proxy dying 50 times gameplay singed... Tahm=what ever Rumble=LOSING HARD FROM RIVEN ALL IN LVL 3-4 AND RUMBLE ETHER FLASH OR DIE..jesus where do you get this "counters" str8 from bronze box? Renekton=Yeah he was and he still may be but he lost way too much early power.... Wukong=Dead meat for riven wukong deal less damage than riven by 200AD RATIO till lvl 11 after lvl 11 Wukong match the total ad ratio of riven so wtf? Voli=Really?....stop seeing trick2g Yorick=Does this champion still exist? Shen=lose hard early game and riven can easily snowball!! (Her lvl3-4 all in outdamage SHEN by far)

Plus the little champs that may have a good time against her are tanks and guess what armor is getting nerfed while new AD items that would be perfect for riven added to the game!

So guess what riven need to be nerfed!! and she will be nerfed if not now after 5.16

I'm not even going to waste my time on you. You said that Riven doesn't win against quinn because a jungler can gank. With this logic Riven loses every lane because enemy jungler can gank her. I have thousands of Riven games and I'm currently d1 so I'm talking from experience. Boxbox also said that Naut top hard counters Riven.

Riven a champion with 4 dashes and flash and 345ms

Quinn 0 dashes 1 flash 325 MS

DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE of ganking power? i main jungler and every time i see an ADC top the game just end in loading screen!! i have never lose a game when someone from the enemy team pick adc top!!

So yeah the guy who boost you tell him to give you back the 50$ and go all the way back to bronze because you just say that nasus counter riven...

Nasus hard counters Riven, and I got both of my accounts to diamond 1. You have a 49% winrate in d5, please dont even try to talk about balance.

Nasus hard counters Riven.

2 accounts? so 100$? damn that a lot of money..and all that and still being humiliated in forum by saying bronze stuff like that?

Hiliarious

Riven has the highest skillcap in the game. You don't know this because nothing takes skill in your elo, you can play without a keyboard and still win games. Thats how bad your elo is.

hahaha... i know... managing that resource is real trouble... or... that lack of cc is really tough i bet.. the damage you pull off.. mm so skillful.

His "early armor" requires 120 minions so that like even if you are the best farmer in the game what? 10 minutes? now in soloQ game mean 15 minutes so by them the extra 30 armor dont really do anything for the early lvls that riven can snowball!!

redniwediSAug 9, 20153 votes

It requires 120 minions to max out at rank 5. If Garen is maxing his W first there is already a problem.

I'm not here to argue, just to point out the facts.

what if you wnt to use one of the other 20-30 top laners..and dont wish to dumb down your playstyle all the way to garen just to deal with an obviously overly loaded riven

redniwediSAug 9, 20151 votes

You say you would have to "dumb down" your playstyle if you were to play Garen, and yet you can't seem to figure out the point of my post. If one of Riven's classic counters can still beat her after the patch, so can others.

There's no reason to insult people just because you don't like or can't effectively play a champion.

sorry to offend you, it is just garen was my first top laner and... that was when rengar came out... for a while now ive been challenging myself outside the realms of the garens and the darius's... and champs that are simply put, beginner champs.... i dont like riven... nobody who isnt maining her likes her.
